Llanfyllin
Llanfyllin is a tiny market community, neighborhood as well as selecting ward in a sparsely-populated location in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales. Llanfyllin's population in 2011 was 1,532, of whom 34.1% might speak Welsh. Llanfyllin implies church or parish (llan) of St Myllin ('m' regularly mutates to 'f' in Welsh). The town depends on the valley of the River Cain near the Berwyn Mountains in Montgomeryshire, 14 miles (23 kilometres) southwest of Oswestry and also 15 miles (24 kilometres) from Montgomery. The River Cain is signed up with by the little River Abel in Llanfyllin (most likely called after Cain and Abel in the Bible), as well as twists through the valley, moving into the River Vyrnwy at Llansantffraid. The community lies in between Shrewsbury and also Bala, for a very long time the vital market communities in this field of Wales as well as the Welsh borders. At close-by Bodyddon there is proof of an early British settlement. Llanfyllin may be the "Mediolanum amongst the Ordovices" explained in Ptolemy's Location (c.? advertisement 150), although others argue for Meifod or Caersws. The town is understood for its holy well, Fynnon Coed y Llan. The well is dedicated to Saint Myllin, that is understood to have baptised people here in the sixth century. The parish church is likewise devoted to Saint Myllin. There is a tradition that Saint Myllin is the Irish bishop, Saint Mo Ling (likewise named Moling Luachra) (614-- 697). However, this is uncertain. There is no document of Mo Ling taking a trip to Wales, and there is a custom that Myllin is buried under the altar of Llanfyllin church whereas Mo Ling is thought to have actually been buried at his abbey in Ireland.
